Administered by: Sch Public Health,Trop Medicine&Rehabilitation Sc

The subject addresses applied movement analysis with respect to tissue loading and musculoskeletal/neurological pathology; the pathophysiological basis of musculoskeletal, neurological/neuromuscular and mental health conditions and cancers; and the assessment, diagnostic, medical and exercise-based interventions associated with the treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal, neurological/neuromuscular and mental health conditions and cancers. The subject examines the safety aspects of exercise for musculoskeletal, neurological/neuromuscular and mental health conditions and cancers with emphasis on exercise capacity limitations; knowledge of, identification of and management of exercise contraindications and adverse signs and symptoms; risk factor stratification and monitoring; medication effects on exercise, and client communication.
